Modern-day recruiting and job hunting are so fundamentally broken and dispiriting. I thought the state of dating apps these days prepared me for ghosting, my god it’s so annoying. Burn the whole damn system down

How was it better prior to job boards, LinkedIn, and a connected world? I agree that it absolutely sucks, but imagine if there wasn’t as much connectivity? Would it mean that recruiters would be less ghosty? That 1000s of people wouldn’t be applying for every job?

I remember watching my parents job hunt back in the day. It wasn’t much better, and you not only had to put in mental work. But, you had to put in physical work as well to get your resume in front of the right people.

Pounding the pavement, and all that.

We pray we don’t burn everything down , because I will be glad to have you a good job referral

Tell me how soon are you looking to handle a remote control position

Hows instrument these days

Not great… layoffs and lots of departures. Similar to the rest of the industry I suppose

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
